 Globe-Democrat. 



This work is of great interest, and, while valuable to all 



archaeological students, is particularly so to those interested 



in the Mound Builders, whose remains are found in Ohio. — 

 Cincinnati Commercial. 



The book is an interesting summary of all the essential facts 

 revealed by investigation of the remains of the Mound Build- 

 ers, and a specific contribution to the general store of infor- 

 mation on the subject. — New York Evening Post. 



The author has sifted, analyzed, and put into compact shape 

 a large amount of matter which until now has only been 

 available except through the study of many books. To the 

 student of archaeology this work is one of great value. — Bos- 

 ton Evening Transcript. 



Mr. MacLean has long been an ardent student and investi- 

 gator, and his experience is large and valuable. The results 

 of his investigations are given in this book in a particularly 

 interesting, modest and convincing manner. — Kansas City Re- 

 view of Science. 



"The Mound Builders, " by J. P. MacLean, may safely be 

 characterized as the best work on its attractive but obscure 

 subject which the general reader can find. As a collector and 

 registrar of facts, Mr. MacLean excels. He has the keenness 

 of observation, and the close regard for seeming unimportant 

 minutiae, so requisite in the field he has chosen. — Cincinnati 

 Gazette. 



Mr. MacLean fulfills in himself the requirements of a popu- 

 lar archaeologist. He possesses a deep interest in his subject ; 

 is industrious in the collection of his facts, and knows how- 

 to weigh evidence and to present results in a popular form. 

 He has shown considerable skill in the use of his material, 

 and the result is, as we have stated, undoubtedly the most 

 copious and valuable account of the Mound Builders now be- 

 fore the public. — Star in the West.
